Applications
Plastic and Glass Bottles and
Packaging
In applications such as
plastic containers, simply
drop the small target ball
inside the container. The
magnetic probe held on
the outside of the container
attracts the target ball.
When scanning the probe
along the surface or critical
corners, the small steel
target ball will follow. In the
Minimum Mode feature, the
gage continually displays
both the actual thickness and the lowest thickness reading.
Automotive Tear Seams
The standard probe along
with one of the two target
disks and a replaceable
chisel wear cap makes the
Magna-Mike 8600 ideally
suited for most automotive
tear seam applications
where measurements need
to made in a thin channel
or groove.
Data Logger
Internal Alphanumeric Data Logger
The Magna-Mike ® has an extensive file-based alphanumeric
data logger that is designed to easily store and transfer
thickness readings.
You have the ability to store thickness readings in one of four
standard file formats: Incremental, Sequential, Sequential
with Custom Point and 2-D Grid.
• Single Send or File Send directly to an Excel spread sheet
using WINXL
• Send data to other SPC program
• Both USB and RS-232 outputs
• Export files to a removable MicroSD card in .txt and
CSV formats
• Generate on-board reports
Direct Interface to Excel Spread
Sheets
The Magna-Mike 8600 has RS-232 and USB outputs that
enable the instrument to directly send data to an Excel
spread sheet. The included WINXL interface program
enables you to single send or file send thickness readings.
Aerospace and Other Applications
The Magna-Mike has been successfully integrated into
quality control programs to measure aerospace parts made
of composites and nonferrous materials. The wire targets
can be inserted into cooling holes in turbine blades and
the larger magnetic target balls can be used to measure jet
engine parts up to 25.4 mm (1.00 in.) thick.
